Regarding seven immunized witnesses and several slandered bystanders, exhibits from a cocaine trial that seems to have been conducted on an iceberg tip in Pittsburgh, Ueberroth has been straining under what he termed a "great demand to do something Landis-like." Maybe to reassure the players of his sympathy, maybe to indicate that it has limits, he found a temperate quote from baseball's original commissioner, whose swift justice expelled the 1919 "Black Sox" fixers.

"I don't think it has any chance of getting through Congress this year," said House Speaker Tip O'Neill after a meeting with other top lawmakers to set the fall legislative agenda. Time is a key factor: even optimists concede that the House will not vote on a tax bill before late October. That would leave the Senate only a few weeks to consider the complex legislation...
